This is conscience.God gave a commandment to Adam and Eve in the garden. He gave ten commandments down to two essential commandments- love God and love your neighbor (Exodus 20).

Christians believe in two ever-living states for all human creations Heaven or Hell. Heaven and Hel l are both eternally places where people exit in the presence and favorable reception of God in Heaven (Revelation 21) or in a state of separation from God, being punished in Hell( Revelation 20 11-15) (weirder and Gutierrez pg65).A juvenile heaven and a new earth will come. But the daytime of the lord will come as a thief in the night , in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up (Peter 2 310). Our salvation is a gift to any of us who wants to receive it. Part 3- How might/ should biblical worldview influence the way?
